Very late gasmask canister

[samland]

Hello !

Please take a look at this can.

Very late, possibly 44-45.

The height is exactly 28 cm. The color, I would say, is light gray, so the can is probably Kriegsmarine. But the "M" is nowhere to be found.

The stamp on the powder box "avp194" - Karl Seifert, A. Heidenau / Sachsen. I must say that for some reason this manufacturer does not finish the last digit of the year.

Look at the metal fittings of the straps - the hook on the lower strap indicates a very late production and this strap is quite narrow compared to similar ones. All belts on the tank are non-removable, i.e. rivets secure the straps so that they cannot be removed.


The rivets and the buckle that adjusts the length of the shoulder strap are shiny and magnetic, covered with rust.

Questions - Kriegsmarine tank? And what is the year of manufacture?

What about belts and accessories? Original or not ?

THANKS A LOT !

It looks like it has a kriegsmarine color, I'm no expert on these though so hopefully you'll get some other opinions

FJM44 sold this at one time and had it listed as a kriegsmarine canister, looks very similar to yours.

Yes, thanks !

But I`m more interested about straps and metal furniture on straps

As I said, I have a late war set of Y straps with the same hook end.



That is all I can help with ... but guaranteed LATE WAR.

Here's another example of an M38 late war gas mask with the same type hook.

And agree with Danmark, definitely late war.

That's interesting - hook make from round wire, not flat steel ANOTHER late variant!!
